REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Welcome to the Emerald Coast's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 17th, 2022, The Emerald Coast Wreaths Across America (WAA) will be helping Barrancas National Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance Wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you. Start time is 11:00 PM noon.
Also Join us for the WAA Mobile Education Exhibit truck that will stop by Navarre, Fla., October 5th, 2022, in the Hwy. 98 United Methodist Church parking lot. Here we learn how to celebrate our community in our work for fallen veterans as we Remember. Honor, and Teach.
